Grabbing the lead with a Munoz birdie on the par-3 fourth, the two were in constant control of this one. After tying Burns and Scheffler on Friday, Im and Munoz were at it again on Saturday. If the internationals fall short this week, Immelman may hang his head wondering why he did not play this duo in foursomes. USA has a chance tomorrow if Thomas and Spieth both win their singles matches.- Justin Ray September 24, 2022 There has never been a #PresidentsCup side to have multiple players finish the week with 5-0-0 match records.

lead extend to 2 UP but was quickly rectified with an eagle on the par-4 11th – Tom's second of the day on that hole. A mental mistake from the internationals on the par-3 10th saw the U.S.

The two teams traded birdies for most of the front nine. Raising the roof and pumping up the crowd on the first tee, the South Korean tandem was able to hold its own against the American powerhouse of Schauffele and Cantlay. It was the match of the day and perhaps the match of the 2022 Presidents Cup as the Kim and Kim duo was electric from the word "go". Match 1: Kim/Kim 1 UP over Cantlay/Schauffele 2022 Presidents Cup scores, results USA: 11 | Internationals: 7 Day 3 - Four-ball: Internationals 3 | USA 1 Matchĭay 3 - Foursomes: USA 2 | Internationals: 2 Match Here is a breakdown of each match from the four-ball session on Day 3 of the 2022 Presidents Cup. Spieth and Thomas are those guys on this team, and they held the rope on a Saturday when the other 10 Americans certainly needed it. There's nothing like having a pairing you can send out at any time against any competition and be assured that you're going to get a war (and probably a point).

enjoys at the Presidents Cup - better overall players, more length off the tee, a course where they thrive - but I keep coming back to this duo and its importance to the vitality of the U.S team. You can point to any number of advantages the U.S. Their only team losses together are to Francesco Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood at the 2018 Ryder Cup, and to Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia at the 2021 Ryder Cup. They went 3-1-0 at the 2018 Ryder Cup, 1-1-0 at last year's Ryder Cup and then 4-0-0 this time around at Quail Hollow, which makes their overall team match play record 8-2-0. It gets a bit lost because the "these guys are best friends" rhetoric (and subsequent mockery of that easy narrative) drowns out everything else, but Spieth and Thomas have been awesome together in team events. Still, it was Spieth who picked him up in the afternoon with six birdies, including that closing chip in which he had caddie Michael Greller pull the stick and put it right in the middle of the cup. Incredibly, Thomas ran his team play record to 16-4-3 in Presidents Cups and Ryder Cups, and his rip-roaring, club-twirling show remains the epicenter of all U.S. can send out early in the singles matches. It was a big one - 11-7 is a lot different than 10-8 - especially with the horses the U.S. Their point in the afternoon session is the only one the Americans were able to secure. They are the first pairing in Presidents Cup history to to 4-0-0 in a single week without letting a single match get to the 18th hole.- Justin Ray September 24, 2022 They won both matches 4 and 3, and at the time they finished their afternoon match had won as many points (4) as the entire International team, which is made up of the best players from every country of the world outside of Europe. Spieth chipped in against Hideki Matsuyama and Taylor Pendrith on Saturday afternoon to touch off a 2-0-0 day that started nine hours earlier when the twosome went out against Sungjae Im and Corey Conners in foursomes.

That's difficult to do across any series of matches, but even more so against a handful of the best players in the world. In fact, the duo was 4 UP for as many holes (2) as it trailed, and it was 3 UP or better for more holes than it trailed or was tied. Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth played 64 holes over the first four sessions at Quail Hollow Golf Club and trailed after just two of them. The most important one - and the through line for Davis Love III's squad - is a twosome that finished first on Saturday afternoon and will take a perfect record into Sunday's singles matches. There are a thousand reasons why, through three days of the 2022 Presidents Cup, the United States is likely well on its way to a ninth victory in a row at this event.
